How to update Sintel BI
If a new version of Sintel BI is released and you wish to update your version, the process is pretty simple.
If you do not have this version we suggest removing any version you may already have and installing the latest version from AppSource.
Step 1 upgrade the app catalog
The following steps should be completed by your tenant admin or someone with sufficient permissions to update apps.
-
- Open your tenant app catalog site PathToAppCatalog/AppCatalog/Forms/AllItems.aspx
- Select Sintel BI
- From the ribbon, choose Files->Upgrade Store App
- You will be redirected to a screen that displays “Downloading from: https://addinsinstallation.store.office.com/appinstall/unauthenticated?cmu=en-US&av=OSU&ret=0&assetid=WA200003873”
- Once the file has downloaded, you will be prompted to trust Sintel BI, click “Deploy” and wait, it may appear that nothing is happening for up to 20 seconds!
After clicking “Deploy” nothing may appear for up to 20 seconds!!
- Once the update has been completed, you should be redirected to the AppCatalog and the latest “App version” number should be displayed which match the latest version number as listed in AppSource.
Step 2 upgrade all sites
The procedure above will update the version of Sintel BI in your tenant and all sites using Sintel BI may* now display an upgrade message when they are refreshed. You can upgrade one site and then use it to automatically update all the other sites within your tenant.
- Open any site in which Sintel BI was already added and when the Sintel BI landing page loads you may* receive a prompt that an update is available and you can click Upgrade now which will update the app within that specific site.

*Please note that you may not receive a prompt to “Upgrade now” if the updates that were applied are minor and required no changes to the Sintel BI structures within the site. In this case, you only need to verify that the version number on the bottom left of your screen is correct. - If you click “Upgrade now”, the upgrade process should only take about 5-10 seconds, and once completed you will be redirected to the Sintel BI landing page.
- You will be able to see the version of Sintel BI you’re using in the bottom left menu.

From within the site you have just upgraded, click on Settings on the bottom left corner of your screen and then select My License->Show usage->Check status this will check the update status of all sites and once it’s run you can click on Update all sites.
